Personal Development Quote

“A man without a goal is like a ship without a rudder”

Thomas Carlyle

 

Reflection: This is a great quote written by Thomas Carlyle. It is true what he is trying to tell us here.An attribute that is being shown in this quote might be assertiveness. I believe assertiveness is the attribute being shown in here because you should be confident in what you and your mind wants to do in the future. An example of this can be like if you’re walking but you do not know where you are heading. Another example can be like if you have a ship in the water. What do you want to do? Nothing or do you want to just drive around. This quote also encourages me to write more goals on Life Planning Goals. This makes me want to write more goals and to think about what I want to do with my future.

Accountability

Accountability: being accountable

“If I could give one tip for people - it's not an exercise or nutrition regimen. It's to walk your talk and believe in yourself, because at the end of the day, the dumbbell and diet don't get you in shape. It's your accountability to your word.”

Brett Hoebel

 

Reflection: This is a great quote that was written by Brett Hoebel. For example you can say that you will do your homework every day. What really matters is if you actually do it instead of just saying.
